Kahkiyaw Oskâyak (All the Young People) was commissioned by Ottawa’s OrKidstra’s social development program for their end-of-year, virtual celebration in 2019. Kahkiyaw Oskâyak honours the younger generation and blesses and guides our future leaders in their journey as they sing in unity. For more information about OrKidstra, visit: https://orkidstra.ca
